The ratio between the digits of the number is 1 : 2
This information significantly LIMITS the possible values of the 2-digits. In fact, the number must be one of the following: 12, 24, 36 or 48
So, rather that get all algebraic, the fastest approach is probably just testing the 4 possibilities to see which one satisfies the other information.
We'll start with 12
Reverse the digits to get 21
21 - 12 = 9. No good. The difference is supposed to be 36
How about 24?
Reverse the digits to get 42
42 - 24 = 18. No good. The difference is supposed to be 36
How about 36?
Reverse the digits to get 63
63 - 36= 27. No good. The difference is supposed to be 36
How about 48?
Reverse the digits to get 84
84 - 48= 36. BINGO!!
What is the difference between the sum and the difference of the digits of the number?
SUM of digits = 4 + 8 = 12
DIFFERENCE of digits = 8 - 4 = 4
So, the difference between the sum and the difference of the digits = 12 - 4 = 8
